Expedition Press is a poetry-focused letterpress shop in Seattle, run by artist Myrna Keliher. Our mission is to deepen regard for language and connect people with poetry.

We make art with words on paper and share it. Mostly that's poetry broadsides (retail only) and notecards (available wholesale). All of our products are designed and printed in-house, and ship worldwide from our Seattle shop.

Please visit our retail site if you want to explore our press and process more in-depth.

Letterpress printed from handset type, with archival ink on renewable paper, our prints are made to last. Notecards are packaged in compostable cello sleeves and the envelopes they come with (as well as our tags!) are 100% recycled and recyclable.

Each flat notecard is packaged as a single print with a kraft envelope. The backs are blank except Expedition's logo and a credit line for the poetry prints. Our notecards come in two sizes that fit many standard stationery displays: 4x6" and 3.5x5".

We also have a few tiny notes (2x3.5") and bookmarks (2x6") that come in packs of 6 or 12 and are great for countertop displays.

We’re passionate about getting people to read more poetry. While they stand on their own as artwork or stationery, our poetry notecards are also access points. They help connect people with the books they’re from and are easy-to-share gifts for those who know and love the book or author.

We always get permission to print others’ words. All our poetry prints have a credit line on the back with bibliographic information including copyright. We deeply value our relationships with the poets and publishers we work with.
